If you don't know, you never will.

We've played pretty much every club in Connecticut (Webster, Toad's Place) and have started playing more in Providence... we're looking to spread like a virus throughout the Northeast.

Special moments were definitely opening for 3 Inches of Blood, and playing on the legendary stage at Toad's.

While it may result in losses for the shitty famous musicians that don't deserve it, the internet is the future of the music industry. In this day and age, any band can record themselves at near professional quality and post it online. It's up to the bands to promote themselves, and it's up to the fans to find good music.

Formed from the ashes of punk/metal outfit N.R.A. (No Reason for Ammunition) and instrumental rockers Keith, Rise From Your Grave began in May of 2004. Upon returning from a year of studying music at New York University, guitarist Jason Kinnard went to watch his old buddies, guitarist Jared Sturges and drummer Nick Talarico, jam on three songs that they had recently written. On that fateful night, Rise From Your Grave was born. Kinnard and Sturges were more focused than in their previous bands, and immediately began writing songs that were at once heavy but melodic; progressive yet accessible. After recruiting musical jack-of-all-trades Mike Carlo to take over bass duties, the group played all over Connecticut, rocking bars, record stores, church basements, and anywhere else that could contain them. Without a vocalist, the 4-piece played every day, honing the sound that is now unmistakably RFYG.

After searching for nearly a year in both Manhattan and Connecticut, the band had few prospects for a singer. Then, in May of 2005, Cody Place appeared, seemingly out of nowhere. His old band, Severance, had just broken up and he needed a new outlet. After one audition, the guys were convinced, and Rise From Your Grave’s lineup was now complete.

Over the summer of 2005, RFYG played several shows while recording The Dead Walk EP at Terminal Sound Studios in Waterbury, Connecticut. With Kinnard now at school in Providence, the band is actively pursuing shows throughout New England and the Northeast.

With Rise From Your Grave you won’t get lyrics about girls. There are no “sick breakdowns,” and there is no eye makeup.

This is metal the way it was meant to be played: loud, heavy, and from the heart.
